IEC 61162

{{Short description|Standard for maritime navigation equipment interfaces}}

IEC 61162 is a collection of IEC standards for "Digital interfaces for navigational equipment within a ship".

The 61162 standards are developed in Working Group 6 (WG6) of Technical Committee 80 (TC80) of the IEC.

Sections of IEC 61162

Standard IEC 61162 is divided into the following parts:

  • Part 1: Single talker and multiple listeners (Also known as NMEA 0183){{cite web|title=Design challenges and decisions for a new ship data network|url=http://www.mits-forum.org/resources/lwe-paper-isis-v9.pdf|access-date=6 January 2017}}
  • Part 2: Single talker and multiple listeners, high-speed transmission
  • Part 3: Serial data instrument network (Also known as NMEA 2000)
  • Part 450: Multiple talkers and multiple listeners–Ethernet interconnection (Also known as Lightweight Ethernet)
  • Part 460: Multiple talkers and multiple listeners - Ethernet interconnection - Safety and security

The 61162 standards are all concerning the transport of NMEA sentences, but the IEC

does not define any of these. This is left to the [http://www.nmea.org/ NMEA Organization].

IEC 61162-1

Single talker and multiple listeners.

IEC 61162-2

Single talker and multiple listeners, high-speed transmission.

IEC 61162-3

Serial data instrument network, multiple talker-multiple listener, prioritized data.

IEC 61162-450

Multiple talkers and multiple listeners.

This subgroup of TC80/WG6 has specified the use of Ethernet for shipboard navigational networks. The specification describes the transport of NMEA sentences as defined in 61162-1 over IPv4. Due to the low amount of protocol complexity it has been nicknamed Lightweight Ethernet or LWE in short.{{cite conference |title=Overview of the IEC 61162-450 "Light Weight Ethernet" Ship Bridge Data Network |last1=Rødseth |first1=Ørnulf Jan |last2=Christensen |first2=Morton Jagd |last3=Lee | first3=Kwangil |date=15–16 September 2011 |publisher=German Institute of Navigation |location=Hamburg, Germany |conference= International Symposium Information on Ships (ISIS) 2011}}{{cite journal | first1= Morten Jagd | last1= Christensen | first2= Ørnufl Jan | last2= Rødseth | title = Lightweight Ethernet - a new standard for shipbord networks | journal = Digital Ship | url = http://issuu.com/mortenjc/docs/digital_ship_december_2010 | date = December 2010 | pages = 31–32 }}

IEC 61162-450/460

IEC 61162-460:2015(E) is an add-on to the IEC 61162-450 standard. This standard extends the informative guidance given in Annex D of IEC 61162-450:2011. The first edition was published in August 2015.

State May 2016 is the first bridge and system manufacturers beginning with the implementation of IEC 61162-450 and IEC 61162-460.

IEC 61162-460:2024 (also referred to as IEC 61162-460 Edition 3.0) is an updated add-on to IEC 61162-450. This standard extends the informative guidance given in Annex D of IEC 61162-450:2011. The third edition was published in April 2024.
